> No kidding! Those suckers are heavy! I've got a good question that relates to this. Once I do get my system hooked up to do this, I would really like to go with the highest bitrate possible--or whatever I need to get the sound really outstanding. I've noticed that you can rip a cd on ripper-x with lame at 320 KBS, but most of the mp3's you see out there are 180 usually. Is that about as high as you can push it, or can you go higher? I don't yet have a sound card that I would trust with the capture process but this too will change with time...
